@being khiladi, hahaha i too laughed at your joke.. all akki fans were looking forward to special 26, and even you will agree that it is one of the worst trailers we have ever seen.. CE is already creating steady buzz.. lets wait n c whose a$$ gets whipped in 2013 :)

Dabangg 2 has raked in Rs 108.37 crores nett at the Indian Box Office in the (7 days) first week and its breakup is Rs 21.10 cr on Fri, Rs 19.06 cr on Sat, Rs 25 cr on Sun, Rs 12 cr on Mon, Rs 16 cr on Tue, Rs 8.12 cr on Wed and Rs 7.75 cr on Thu. For a non-holiday Friday release, it is a record-breaking collection and the movie has set a new record at the Box Office.

@star, ga…, Dabangg2 is already super hit and marching towards Block buster. where as Jthj was flop but saved due to death of Yash chopra. SRK and his films are only flop to average, where as ATBB Salman khan has consecutive Blockbusters and ATBB.

As of now the highest grosser is undoubtedly Ek tha tiger,most profitable actor is Salman khan for the combined worldwide gross of ek tha tiger 330 crores + dabangg 2 1st week 179.50 crores = 509.50 crores,most profitable actress is sonakshi sinha with 3 movies in the 100 cr club in India itself in 2012,profitable male debut is ayushman khurana,female is diana penty,top grossing director is kabir khan,surprise hit is oh my God and last but not the least the most profitable banner will be dedicated to yash raj films on the demise of late yash chopra.
This is fix & final.No chances for any change.Mark my comment.

No place for so called numero uno Aamir Khan or his Talaash. Even Ranbir Kapoor trumped him badly. This just shows what he is without remakes, holiday release dates, franchise sequels or films which milk social issues. He’s some top star only in his few fans dreams otherwise he’s nothing!

Now he needs YRF and multistarrer Dhoom franchise to revive his sagging fortunes!
